This man literally puts the “Boring” in Never Boring Design Associates.
As founder, President and Creative Director of NBDA, David Boring is the
driving force behind the company. After working in the commercial sign
industry for several years, Boring decided to strike out on his own in
1983.
Boring’s quick wit, tireless energy, and love of all things Modesto helped the company grow one employee and one department at a time. Spend five minutes across the conference room, dinner table, or desk from David Boring and you’ll see he’s anything but boring.
What work of art inspires you?
My favorite artist has always been my father John. His style of painting has had a tremendous affect on me.

Elvis Costello, U2, Philip Glass, Pearl Jam, Dr. Dog, The Bad Plus, Wilco, Alison Krauss, Muse,
Neil Finn, Weezer, Death Cab For Cutie, Spoon.
How are you Never Boring?
Besides the Boring name being my birthright? In my youth,
having the last name Boring was somewhat like the Johnny Cash song "A
Boy Named Sue" - it forced me not to be THE Boring person in the room.
